System Time Control on a Yacht
Hi. First time post so please excuse any poor forum etiquette... We are installing a system on a luxury yacht and require the ability to change the system time zone and time via a third party control system when the yacht reaches a new location. I am able to change the time zone and system time from the 3rd party. Time zone isn't really and issue...25 time zones, 25 button commands withing the 3rd party controller. The time change is slightly different as Lutron have told me that you can't enter hours and minutes separately. Does anyone know of a control system that the end user can enter the time manually and then send the command? Otherwise, I will need more than 1400 different commands, depending on what time of day it is! Any help will be much appreciated.
Not sure if this will work
You could create an Ethernet device in the QS software. Assign it the IP address of a QS processor and set up username and password accordingly. Add commands for each time zone change you need (#SYSTEM,5,-12). Then program a phantom keypad with one button for each time zone. The crew could then use the Lutron App to select the time zone as they change time zones.
